Hybrid Optical APD Receiver Modules

Product information "Hybrid Optical APD Receiver Modules"

Active Area Diameter 0.08-1.1 mm; Responsivity 90- 3,000 kV/W; NEP 10-220 fW/√Hz; Package TO-8, TO-8 Flange, Custom; System Bandwidth 50, 200 MHz

Excelitas’ hybrid optical APD receiver modules are comprised of a photodetector (PIN or APD) and a transimpedance amplifier in the same hermetically sealed package. Having both an amplifier and photodetector in the same package allows low-noise pickup from the surrounding environment and reduces parasitic capacitance from interconnect allowing lower-noise operation.

The C30950EH is a silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) amplifier module with 50 MHz system bandwidth and includes Excelitas’ C30817 silicon avalanche photodiode (APD) . With a useful diameter of 0.8 mm, the C30950EH provides good response between 400 and 1100 nm and is supplied in a modified 12-lead TO-8 package. The C30950EH is the cost-effective, pin-compatible alternative to the C30659 series employing a bipolar amplifier.

The C30659 series includes a silicon (Si) or InGaAs avalanche photodiode (APD) with a hybrid preamplifier, in the same hermetically sealed TO-8 package, to allow for ultra-low noise operation, and features an inverting amplifier design with an emitter follower used as an output buffer stage. The Si APDs used in these devices are the same as used in Excelitas’ C30817EH, C30902EH , C30954EH and C30956EH products , while the InGaAs APDs are used in Excelitas’ C30645EH and C30662EH products . These detectors with 50 or 200 MHz system bandwidth provide very good response between 830 and 1550 nm and very fast rise- and fall-times at all wavelengths. The preamplifier section of the module uses a very low-noise GaAs FET front end designed to operate at higher transimpedance than Excelitas’ standard C30950 Series.

The C30659-UV-1 includes a UV-enhanced silicon avalanche photodiode (Si APD) providing very good response between 400 nm and 950 nm.

The LLAM series of fully RoHS-compliant APD modules features an avalanche photodiode chip, thermoelectric (TE) cooler, and preamplifier, all in a single hermetically-sealed, modified 12-lead TO-66 flange package. The modules are easy to install and offer additional heat sinking. The use of a TE-cooler ensures lower noise and constant responsivity over a +5 to +40 °C ambient temperature range. The LLAM Series modules with 50 or 200 MHz system bandwidth are designed for the detection of high-speed, low-light analog signals.

Applications: Laser Range Finder; Video Scanning Imagers; High-speed Analytical Instrumentation; Free-space Communication; UV-VIS-NIR Light Sensing; Distributed Temperature Sensing

WLS-Series WheeLED Multi-wavelength LED Light Sources
Up to 9 LED Modules; 340-980 nm; Typical Output Power 23-500 mW; Iop 350-1,000 mA; Vop 1.4-4.3 V Many applications require wavelength-switchable light sources. For example, in vision applications different types of objects may require different illumination wavelengths for optimized contrast. Mightex’s WLS-Series of WheeLED™ wavelength-switchable LED light sources let users manually switch between a selection of LED sources with different wavelengths and/or white LEDs. A wide range of wavelengths and white LEDs are available for users to choose from. Start with a blank chassis (product number WLS-22-A) and add up to nine (9) LEDs emitters (product numbers WLS-LED-xxxx-xx) to your WheeLED chassis. The selected LEDs are installed in the light source chassis in the factory. Users can then switch among the installed LEDs by manually turning a hand wheel. A high-NA (numerical aperture) aspherical collimating optics is included for precision collimation and high light throughput. Clear aperture of the optics is 22 mm in diameter. Other optional optics may be added for fiber /lightguide coupling and other functions. The light source includes a 1.5 m electrical cable with a connector on one end to be plugged into the light source, and two bare-wire terminals at the other end. The light sources can be driven by Mightex LED controllers or other LED controllers and current sources. Only a single driving channel is required because at any time only one wavelength is powered up. Over-current protection is built into the light source to prevent potential damage during switching. An optional focusing module can be mounted on the front of the LED collimator to focus light into a tight spot which is an image of the LED emitter. An optional lightguide adapter is also available to couple the LED light into a lightguide. Key Features: Switchable Among Wavelengths/Colours Up to 9 LED Emitters Wide Range of Available Wavelengths: 340 to 980 nm (UV, VIS Visible, NIR Near Infrared), 4000 to 6500 K for White LED Versions Typical Output Power: 23 to 500 mW Iop: 350 to 1,000 mA Vop: 1.4 to 4.3 V Standard 22 mm Diameter Collimating Optics Optional Focusing Module Optional Fiber-coupling Optics Optional Lightguide-coupling optics Optional LED Controllers Applications: General Purpose Light Source; Microscope Illuminator; Fiber and Lightguide Coupling
